      I bought a set of these after seeing them all over Instagram, and my cherry shrimp claimed them within a day. The spawning ornaments give the berried females a quiet spot away from the males, which is exactly what I needed.

      The little shrimp hide inside these the second they’re in the tank, and the clay texture holds up well to scrubbing. Set them up near some plants and you’ll spot baby shrimp peeking out within a day. Exactly the vibe I wanted for my nano aquarium.

      The moss ball texture on these is way better than the plain ceramic hides I used before, my shrimplets cluster all over it. Took a couple days for the adults to wander in, but now they're spawning right next to the little shelter.
